**This position is currently not eligible for visa sponsorship**
Summary:
Join us on the frontlines of translating behavioral science into action, and action into improved outcomes for both patients and the health organizations that serve them. We’re looking for a creative thinker and versatile writer who can apply consumer science (how + why people make healthcare buying decisions) to create patient-facing content that motivates people to get the care they need — then use key learnings to shape our client-facing technology and its positioning in the market.
In this role, you’ll use our proprietary psychographic segmentation model to develop clinical and marketing outreach on behalf of clients, finding creative ways to scale personalization — without sacrifice to quality or brand alignment — using AI. You’ll also partner with Product stakeholders to turn content and campaign learnings into platform improvements, and with Marketing and Sales teammates to tell a differentiated story of healthcare consumerism to executive audiences.
Today, our clients see us as experts whose technology and collaboration enables them to get their patients to act. Tomorrow, Health Catalyst will lead the charge in our industry, using consumer science to make patients feel more seen and known in their healthcare than ever before, while enabling provider organizations to deliver richer experiences. You will play a pivotal role in delivering on this vision, making a direct impact on patient experience, the product roadmap, client retention and growth, and healthcare at large.
